The Jungle

the famous book by Upton Sinclair, the jungle.

That's the impact that Upson Sinclair's the jungle had.

And in the book, I mean, he went undercover, he was a muckraking journalist, God bless him.

And he went undercover to basically just take notes on all the horrible things he saw in the, in the meatpacking industry and slaughterhouses.

And he chronicled all the inhumane things that he saw and the way the animals were treated.

But he also saw the inhumane ways the workers were treated.

Upton Sinclair certainly didn't help later on with his book The Jungle.

I remember reading that. It was so disgusting. So awful. Reading is good. Reading is fundamental. Books are great.

And people finding out about stuff that isn't right outside their front door and then caring about it is what books are for, aka don't let weirdos shut down your local public libraries.

Yeah. And banning books is fucking bad. Banning books is what fascists and Nazis do.

read what's his name Upton Sinclair what shit was going on in Chicago in the slaughterhouses

it's about the meatpacking shit right?

There were cattle which had been fed on whiskey malt, the refuse of the breweries and had become what the men called 'stearly', which means covered in boils. It was a nasty job killing these for when you plunged your knife into them, they would burst and splatter foul smelling stuff onto your face. And when a man's sleeves were smeared with blood, his hands steeped in it, how was he ever to wipe his face or to clear his eyes so that he could see?

I aimed at the public's heart and by accident I hit it in the stomach.

do you remember in high school, did you read Upton Sinclair as the jungle?

If people weren't liable for ensuring that there were guards around meat grinders, we'd still have people falling into meat grinders.

Journalist Upton Sinclair's bestselling novel, The Jungle, was meant to raise the alarm of the unsanitary and appalling working conditions at meat processing plants.

There would be meat stored in great piles in rooms and the water from leaky roofs would drip over it and thousands of rats would race about on it.

In 1904, the journalist Upton Sinclair went undercover working in meatpacking plants in Chicago. Then he wrote a novel based on his experiences called The Jungle. He described poor, newly arrived immigrants, mostly from Eastern Europe, who worked in dangerous, squalid conditions.

Even if Sinclair's book didn't do exactly what he wanted it to, it was still influential. Federal laws were enacted to enforce inspections and sanitation.

When people are deported in droves, it leaves a vacuum. When refugees aren't allowed to come, it leaves a vacuum. And when there's no one left to slaughter our cows, we're reminded of a truth Upton Sinclair tried to tell us in the jungle.

But it wasn't those brutal conditions that captured the public's outrage. As Sinclair later said, quote, I aimed at the public's heart and by accident, I hit it in the stomach. Even if Sinclair's book didn't do exactly what he wanted it to, it was still influential.

The meatpacking industry famously registered structural upheaval not in response to data on worker conditions, but Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle.

You ever read Upton Sinclair's The Jungle?

About how the sausage is made?

One of the books I skipped in high school that I was supposed to read or don't remember, at least.

It makes me think the book of the jungle by Upton Sinclair because I just found a coffee inside the cavity of my Costco chicken.

This opens the door to return to the days of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle.

It's like the first expose blown the lid off of meatpacking at a time where there was like zero oversight.

It was called the jungle written by a guy named Upton Sinclair And it shed a lot of light on things people would rather not think about you know what I mean and

one of the primary motivating factors for the creation of the FDA was a book a quite disturbing book About stockyards in Chicago. It was called the jungle written by a guy named Upton Sinclair

That was going to say gross. Yeah, gross and gruesome story about the meatpacking industry.

I have come to write the Uncle Tom's Cabin of the labor movement.

Chicago will be ours.

I aimed at the public's heart and by accident, I hit it in the stomach.

He depicted the horrors he witnessed in a searing novel called The Jungle that shocked the nation and spurred Congress to action.

This book followed the life of a Lithuanian immigrant working in the Chicago meatpacking industry.

Sinclair described walls stained with animal blood, rotten beef treated with chemicals, and dead rats mixed into sausage meat.

Sinclair quipped that he aimed at the heart of the American people and instead hit their stomach.

The impoverished humans who drew the first line of the jungle. The impoverished humans who drew the factory's dirty work.

if you read the jungle as a kid in high school or whatever eptanson clears expose of the meat packing industry then i strongly suggest you read his book the brass check which is actually an expose of the news industry around the same time and sadly almost nothing this changed
